Blackpool is a seaside town of about 141,100 residents at the 2021 Census. Blackpool’s JSNA shows that about 29,300 of them, or 20.8%, were aged 65 or over, above the England figure of 18.4%. That group has also grown faster locally than nationally, by 7.6% since 2011 against 3.6%. Live-in care keeps one carer in the home, so someone can stay in their own neighbourhood, close to their GP, friends and family.

Hospital discharge and NHS support

Blackpool Victoria Hospital is run by Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and local NHS planning sits with NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board. Before someone leaves, the ward team talks through going home. The trust also says patients can ask their medical team whether part of their care could continue at home through a virtual ward, with daily check-ins and equipment set up for them.

Hometouch is doctor-founded and clinically guided, so your family can talk through live-in care before the discharge date and choose from vetted, self-employed carers.

Paying for live-in care in Blackpool

Blackpool Council offers a financial assessment to work out what someone can pay towards care. It counts income and assets, including pensions, benefits and savings, and takes disability-related costs into account. People with capital under £23,250 may get help with care costs. Above that figure, the council may ask someone to agree to pay the maximum charges for care it arranges. Questions about the council’s fees go to its social care benefits team.
